Hi RL,

Are BBS E50 (20 Hole) Centers measured at 14" or 15."

Did they make any 15" faces or were they all one size at 14"?

-Thank You

 

Not sure the exact diameter of the centers, but 20 hole centers (E50, E26, and E87) can all be setup as either 16's or 17's, not sure that they can be configured as a 15" wheel.

 

Thanks for the respond.

I was hoping to use a 15" face to get to an 18" Wheel. But my research is telling me that the face might only come in 14." Meaning if there is an E50 face on an 18" Wheel, the wheel may or may not be BBS (BBS discontinued 18" from my understanding).

 

I built a set of e50 to 17" for my narrow body 964. My opinion is that e50 centers are best looking at 17" or 16" (17" on 964 looks best).

I don't think u can get E50 setup as an 18" unless you go with some aftermarket inners and outer (don't recommend this)

For 18" + you need 24 hole centers like E88's.

 

I run 17 inch BBS E50s on my RSRAttachment 1127557.

 

PHOAR! That's a home-run!

Would you be able to divulge the offsets and tire sizes?

 

All e50 centers are the same size, it is the halves that make them a larger diameter. They can be built 15" up to 19" with BBS 20 hole parts.

The 18" and 19" tooling is long gone, but you can still buy 15", 16" and 17" halves new from BBS, as well as e50 centers.

I have lot of used 15" and 16" halves for sale.

You will have to go the aftermarket route shall you wish to make them 18" or good luck searching for vintage BBS halves
